We do not wonder that there is conflict in the world. There is now, and has been from the time that Cain slew Abel, so much of hatred.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.
Cain slew Abel. On that much the Torah and the Bible and the Qur'an agree, although in the Qur'an these first sons of Adam and Eve are Qabeel and Habeel. Cain, which is to say Qabeel, wandered eastwards from Eden to the Land of Nod with a mark of some kind on him, a curse.
Let me tell you what the Cain Doctrine would be, as it relates to Israel if I were president. You mess with Israel, you are messing with the United States of America!
One of the things I love about our source text as Christians, the Bible, is that it teaches us not to avoid conflict. And it teaches us that before the fall of man, in Paradise, there was conflict. God wants conflict to be a part of your life.
If we aren't going to be afraid of conflict, we have to see it as thinking.
The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.
The violence in the Bible is appalling.
Conflict is very much a state of mind. If you're not in that state of mind, it doesn't bother you.
Wars and conflicts are not inevitable. They are caused by human beings.
You never want conflict. But sometimes conflict is inevitable.
